> James > VE6SRV > Ok, I am really confused. Are you saying that if my tracker has an outgoing path of WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 and is heard directly by a high digi (WIDE2) then it will not be repeated? Likewise, if I use a path such as KB1MOV,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 with the goal of trapping my local movements into my home digi/iGATE (KB1MOV) it would not work out of area because KB1MOV had not been used up first? Separate question. On the wiki page for digipeater setup it shows the example of WIDE Is this in error and should it show WIDE1 and WIDE2? In the description would it be correct to say that WIDE1 is a surrogate for a local fill-in digi and WIDE2 means a high digi covering a wide area? The numbers really have no function. Instead of WIDE1-1 could we say FILL-1 and instead of WIDE2-1 could we say HIGH-1 to the same effect? Or is there something else I am missing? 73,KB1MOV http://wiki.argentdata.com/index.php?title=Digipeater_Setup
